Apology accepted. The crux of what we have been discussing
for days, if not weeks, is what does a model of the active,
dynamic volcano of energy, i.e. the source, look like?

Cecil,

In the context of antenna and transmission line matters you have an
interesting definition of "source" for an amateur transmitter. Why
consider the source to be some place after the output conditioning, such
as the output connector, when you can go all the way back to the wall plug?
